Friday Favorites: Five Favorite Recipes for Roasted Winter Squash

Last month I realized I'd never be able to spotlight all my favorite recipes by featuring them one at a time, so I decided that once in a while I'd do Friday Favorites, where I spotlight five favorite recipes around a common theme. One of my most-loved fall foods is winter squash, and I think roasting is the perfect way to cook winter squash, so today I'm sharing five recipes for roasted butternut or buttercup squash. You can use other types of squash as well, but if you like winter squash do try one of recipes, starting with the Agave and Balsamic Glazed and Roasted Buttercup Squash above, which I loved when I tested the recipe.

Your roasted butternut squash with lemon, thyme, and parmesan is still my all time favorite squash recipe. I always make it for fall and winter potlucks and everyone raves about it. About half of the time I forget the lemon juice and I almost always use dried thyme, but it's still fantastic.

Stupid question for those of you who are ecpert cooks, but Kalyn , do you have any great tips for peeling squash? I am fine with zucchini, but what about the others? And if you've already addressed this topic in the past I apologize; just point me in the right direction!

Jeannette, sorry it seemed like I was ignoring you. Truly I wasn't, just hadn't gotten down to your comment yet when I replied above. The Jarrahdale squash is similar in flavor to butternut from what I can remember. I only had it that one time, and alas forgot to look for the seeds last spring, so I'll have to put it on my garden list for this next year!

JD, I have used that pre-peeled and cubed butternut squash and agree that it's a great convenience food. When I have the time though I great prefer the freshly peeled whole squash. The pre-cubed squash is a little dried out in comparison and much more expensive, but if it gets people to cook butternut squash I'm all for it!

Great selection of recipes! My first attempt at peeling a butternut squash was not exactly successful, but then I got a vegetable peeler like the one shown in your post and things got much better. I peeled a pumpkin the other day with it and it was also a breeze. Have a great weekend!

I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
